Eid-el-Fitr: FRSC deploys personnel, patrol vehicles, ambulances nationwide
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has deployed regular and special marshals, patrol vehicles, and ambulances for a smooth Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
The FRSC corps marshal, Dauda Ali-Biu, disclosed this at the official inauguration of the 2024 Sallah Mega Motor Park Rally on Saturday in Abuja.
Mr Ali-Biu also said tow trucks and bikes were also deployed across the 52 critical corridors in the country.
The FRSC boss, represented by the deputy corps marshal in charge of operations, Shehu Zaki, said the deployments were also made to other roads across the country.
According to him, the corps also deployed operational equipment, such as Radar Guns and breathalysers, to prevent drunk driving and speeding.
Mr Ali-Biu said he had directed commanding officers to step up patrol operations and strictly enforce compliance with road traffic rules.
He said the corps had also implemented key strategic measures to combat road crashes.
The FRSC boss explained that the initiatives included the inauguration of the Joint Task Force against the use of trailers to convey human beings, which contradicts the vehicle’s original design.
The FRSC boss charged the personnel to remain steadfast in the campaign for safer road use, remembering that Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) do not just happen.
